Default Soft Clutch Pedal

This is been happening gradually, but the pedal has definitely gotten softer. Is this normal wear/tear? What could be causing this? Cause for concern?

Could be air in the lines somehow. Possibly a bad master cylinder. Check the fluid level and bleed the clutch system.

Other opinions? Surely, you must have come across this problem at some point. I've never bled a clutch, and I hear it's a major pain in the ***. What else could cause a soft clutch pedal?

Actually i find ALL the pedals abit too stiff.. compared with 2 other manul transmission cars that i've ever driven in my life. Friction point is high and the accelerator pedal has to be given alittle bit more push before it'll even budge.. harder for me to feather the pedals with.

It just might be in your head. I thought that my clutch was getting soft also. Either that or a stronger left foot.

You must be joking!!! Probably five minutes of your life at most to bleed your clutch. Much, much easier than bleeding your brakes IMO. Try that first and see if it improves.
